Casual Sneaker Outfits for Spring

April 11, 2017

If I had to make a guess about the trend that I have gravitated towards the most this year, I would have to say it has been sneakers. Athleisure isn’t dead if you ask me, and time and time again I’ve run across the absolute cutest sneakers that I just couldn’t resist. From bright red floral prints to more muted slip ons, to now a retro pair, the styles may have been different but the sentiment is still the same: comfort is ruling my wardrobe, and sneaker outfits have been my go-to this spring!

Disclosure: Brooks Heritage provided these sneakers for this post. All opinions are my own! :)

The great thing about sneakers is that they are so versatile. There’s really no need to worry about what to wear them with. From tees and jeans to spring dresses to jumpsuits, you really can’t go wrong. I mean honestly, have you ever seen a sneaker outfit and thought, wow, that really looks terrible? I know I haven’t. I mean, people wear them on their wedding day so really, they can work with anything. ;)

All of this to share with you my latest additions courtesy of Brooks Heritage, the Chariot. At a spring press event, Brooks unveiled their final Heritage collection called Gelateria. The fun colors, from mint to cream to purples, reds, and pinks, evoke a spring and summer mood that I’ve been dying for. I know I’m not the only Seattle girl crossing her fingers and toes that warmer weather, drippy ice cream cones, and BBQs st the beach are coming soon!

For now I’ll settle for my ice cream themed kicks, but it’s bittersweet because the Brooks Heritage Collection will be sunsetting after this release. That means that if you’re a fan of their comfy, sporty fashion line that you might want to make sure you have what you need before the vault closes. Initially brought back to celebrate 100 years of Brooks, the line will be selling until it’s gone.

But never fear, I’ve got a few ways you can style these cute kicks for the foreseeable future. My friend Megan and I decided to collaborate to share four ways to style these Chariot cuties in a few sneaker outfits. We each picked out a casual way to style the sneaks, and a more dressy way too. What do they say, two heads are better than one? And in this case, four outfits are definitely better than one! Today I’m sharing the casual way in which we opted to style our sneakers.

I loved how Megan also went for stripes in this outfit, and the ruffles on the sleeves of her Zara sweater are so on-trend. A lightweight sweater for spring is perfect for our unpredictable Seattle weather too! She also paired a cropped pair of jeans from Who What Wear x Target and a neutral cross body bag with her sneakers. I swear we didn’t plan these outfits, more than just a few generic texts back and forth!

Don’t forget to check out Megan’s blog post featuring her outfit and her thoughts on styling the Brooks Heritage Chariot sneakers. You can visit her post here.

Stay tuned for another look featuring these Brooks Heritage sneakers again soon, but in the meantime, how do you like to style sneakers for spring? Have you checked out the Brooks Heritage line yet? I’d love to hear about in the comments!
